The "Spotlight's on Who?" Contest Winner for February Gail Stenberg, budget manager for the Department of Biological Sciences, is the winner of the second "Spotlight's on Who?" contest! She is the recipient of a $25 gift certificate good from any Barnes and Noble Bookstore.
AND the spotlight is on: 
Phyllis Brown awards Gail Stenberg with a gift certificate for correctly naming the person in the photo.
(Note: In the 1962 photo, Dan is meeting with the new officers of the Sigma Xi, National Professional Science Fraternity. From left to right: Dr. Albert W. Forslev, President Lewis W. Webb, Jr. (Old Dominion University president), Dr. Horton H. Hobbs (president of the Virginia Academy of Science), Dr. Allen K. Clark (then assistant professor of chemistry, now retired), and Dr. Sonenshine (assistant professor of biology).
Dr. Sonenshine then.... Dr. Daniel E. Sonenshine, professor and eminent scholar of the Department of Biological Sciences, earned his bachelor of arts in biology in 1955 at City College of New York (now the City College of the City University of New York) and his doctorate in zoology in 1959 from the University of Maryland. He plans to retire May 2002 after 41 years with Old Dominion University. He will remain on campus as director of the Old Dominion Animal Care Facility and chair of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, as well as a funded researcher carrying on with his research on tick peromones, tick immunity and tick-borne diseases.
....Dr. Sonenshine now!
In the next edition of the College's publication, Catalyst, Dr. Sonenshine is featured in the article, The Chronicle of a Career Scientist: Reflections on 40 Years in the Biological Sciences at Old Dominion University."
The Catalyst article begins:
Dawn broke as teams of researchers pillaged the fields, trapping mice and raccoons. Dan often came home well after dark wearing torn clothing from scrambling through briers collecting ticks. He'd fall into bed for a few hours rest before charging out of the house for another 120-mile, predawn trek to Montpelier, Virginia. Before long, undergraduate biology students were accompanying him to the field station, as excitement over the study of infectious diseases grew.
Be sure to read the chronicle of Dr. Sonenshine's lifetime. It reflects not only his love of science and Old Dominion University but his wit and wisdom as well.
